PMID: 23891327
Immunobiology. 2014 Jan;219(1):9-16. doi: 10.1016/j.imbio.2013.06.004. Epub 2013 Jun 26.

The screening of all atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) patients for factor H autoantibodies is best practice. However, there is no consensus assay for the reporting of factor H autoantibody titres. In this study, three European complement laboratories with...

IgG4-related systemic disease, including autoimmune pancreatitis, is a multi-organ disorder characterized by elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) concentration and IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. We report a case of a 66-year-old woman with IgG4-related hearing disorder, presenting with fluctuating mixed...

In various human malignancies, widespread dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression is reported to occur and affects various cell growth programs. Recent studies suggest that the expression levels of miRNAs that act as tumor suppressors are frequently reduced in cancers...

Association between Helicobacter pylori and Barrett's esophagus, erosive esophagitis, and gastroesophageal reflux symptoms.

Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Infection with Helicobacter pylori, particularly the cytotoxin-associated gene A (cagA)+ strain, is believed to protect against Barrett's esophagus, but it is not clear if it protects against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We aimed to determine whether...

The objective of this study was to determine the neuroprotective role of tropisetron on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) as well as to explore the possible mechanisms associated with alpha7 nAChR-induced neuroprotection. Adult pig RGCs were isolated from all other...

Poor positive predictive value of serum immunoglobulin G4 concentrations in the diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease.

Yun J, Wienholt L, Adelstein S.
PMID: 25097853
Asia Pac Allergy. 2014 Jul;4(3):172-6. doi: 10.5415/apallergy.2014.4.3.172. Epub 2014 Jul 29.

BACKGROUND: Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related sclerosing disease is a recently described clinicopathological entity with diverse manifestations including, amongst others, autoimmune pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, sclerosing sialadenitis and retroperitoneal fibrosis. Elevated serum IgG4 concentration has been described as the hallmark of this...
